I can confirm the whole "blaming yourself" thing. Once I stopped having such unrealistic expectations from myself and started simply thinking about what I can do different, how can I better support my teammates and learning that I'm no professional and that sometimes there are things outside of my control and that I should simply do my best to keep improving and learning, I started getting better pretty quickly. Watching replays and writing up "what to do"s and what not to has helped me a lot! And really, this applies to anything you want to improve at. Don't make excuses for your shortcomings, but don't start beating yourself up over them either. After all, learning is a process and we all hit roadblocks.
Problem is it's far too easy to blame yourself and especially if you're new to the thing. It can also be part of a much bigger problem (I.e the gifted child problem). Using myself as an example here I know I'm guilty of this. I'm aware that some people take their rank or whatever seriously and have likely worked hard for it, and my Autism definitely doesn't help matters. But i have learned to recognise I'm better than what I give myself credit for and everyone had to start somewhere (and it doesn't hurt to laugh at your mistakes every now and then). I should also point out I have a self deprecating sense of humour but I digress. This is one of the reasons why when doing salmon run I stick to my teammates I get landed with as long as possible. For all I know I could be helping them out a lot even if we failed. It is a game in the end and we all have our off days. I have had my fair share of getting mad at in a game over the years but I've equally had more than my fair share of fun and wholesome moments too! Yesterday for example during a salmon run. My teammates celebrated a completed wave at around profreshonal! That may be nothing to other players but that doesn't matter cause we had fun! (Nothing beats like a celebratory booyabomb). Sorry if this reads like alphabetty spaghetti :) don't get mad at yourself for making mistakes as that's how we learn. And more importantly just have fun!
@@hikaru9624 I can relate A LOT. I'm also autistic and I've struggled with this sort of stuff for my entire life, it was really hard to shake it off. Hell, I even still have issues not just beating the crap out of myself mentally on other stuff like drawing. I have a whole ass story to tell on that regard but that's not really relevant here. Point is, whenever I start having bad thoughts I try my best to think logically and objectively. I guess you could say I have a more "square" side whose job is to stop my overly emotional and strict side from ruining everything. As I said, I'm no professional, I need to set more realistic expectations for myself. Setting the bar so ridiculously high will only keep me from enjoying activities I would otherwise adore doing. Still, it's so great to see others are also able to move forward like this and it's incredibly inspiring. This is why sometimes I take the time to share some thoughts as well 💖
@@-bemyvalentine- I have autism too so I know the feeling, I've been autistic for my whole life and I also find myself getting mad at my teammates and the Rival team sometimes though I've had some amazing players and made some friends as well. If you're interested in playing with me, check our my channel's about page and you'll find my friend code and also you're welcome to check out the type of content I make on my channel as well
The quality of your videos has massively increased from even just a year ago. It’s nice to see creators grow their audience and content while still keeping the same energy that brought you in. Keep up the good work
I got that same effect in like two weeks with splatoon 3 And I'm sure that'll happen again when I get back playing (I'm playing pokemon and guilty gear recently and they're taking all my free time basically)
I love that most of these are focused on mentality over mechanics. Feel like it’s an aspect of play that’s often ignored, but having the mentality to improve does wonders for allowing that change to happen.
I have an extra tip that I don't think was Said in this video: Make sure to check your HUD, It can help you and be the difference between life and death. If someone on your team has Tacticooler ready, Check the HUD and go to them to receive buffs. If you see that someone you're fighting has a special ready, prepare to back away and move into a more safe position. Its really useful and can help in dire situations.
Not only the HUD, but check your map, too! In turf war, it's damn near essential; but in ranked / anarchy battles, it is the best way to tell where enemies might be before you start moving towards that area... Not to mention keeping track of the objective
You have no idea how many times I’ve tried to take a fight with someone without realizing they have a tri-zooka ready. 9 times out of 10 that scenario ends with me getting blown to smithereens before I get within shooting range.
there's also one things that makes me better in this game: When things goes abit too chaos, sometimes it is better for you to take a step back and observe the situation for a while rather than rushing in without planning. Hide in a good spot, observe the current situation (like where's is the enemy's sniper/splatling locating, numbers of attacking frontliners and their wpns, how many teammates are down etc), u could form a good strategy to adapt the situation, (either pushing in, retreating as teammates's jump spot or picking off certain targets or objectives). Works really well. Sometimes it's best to have intel rather than having good reflexes.
This is also good for helping your team regroup if most of them go down. More teammates = better chance to fight back. Taking at best a trade when their whole team is pushing and yours is down isn’t gonna do much unless it's a rainmaker carrier or something that can be stalled by one person.
Tunnel vision is definitely one of my biggest problems. I can start out a match so good but quickly zone out and start hyper focusing only on what's directly in front of me instead of focusing on my situational awareness like I set out to do.
None of these really stuck out as big weaknesses of mine that I definitely need to work on (not that I’m perfect at all of them), but I’m actually really happy about that. It shows that I’ve improved by an incredible amount since even just a few weeks ago where a lot of these were definitely things I could easily improve on
god i love splatoons community. thanks chara for taking the time to make videos for everyone you cam rly tell that you just want everyone to be better and to improve the game as a whole with your advice! i know i need to break tunnel vision for sure...and the roller example felt like you pulled that directly from my matches yesterday, but it must just be actually that common LOL! i hope you reach 100k before the end of the year, you absolutely deserve it and more!
As a side note, the excuses thing is also something that can be applied anywhere, not only Splatoon, not only videogames, anywhere, you can't make up excuses because you don't want to admit your mistakes or the consecuences of them. I like to talk about it as if it were a mixture of self-confidence and humility, you do need to be humble enough so you can admit your mistakes and try to avoid them, but you also need self-confidence to let you know that you can do things and that you are not bad. It's very hard, but it's helpful anywhere and it prevents you from feeling bad for thinking that you're not good, and from getting tilted/mad for thinking that it's not your fault, it's the others' fault. Also, please, do not blame your team if you lose a match, they are presumably trying their best or going through a tilt period, try focusing what you can change, and surprisingly enough, the only thing you can change for the better or for the worse, it's yourself, blaming others makes yourself generally angry or tilted and it produces a bad feeling for the others if your feedback reach them.
Your definitely correct on the tunnel vision.. That killed me at first... Salmon Run Really helped me with that problem. If your setting up a charger shot at a steel head.. immediately SURROUNDED by Small fry's and chums. Basically teaching a lesson.. stick and move. Great videos by the way. You and Dude have the best.
This is the second time I’m saying this : a lot of your advices about Splatoon also applies very well to other games. Thanks for all the time and effort you out into this video!!
One additional point that somewhat ties into being afraid of change that I see way too often is *being afraid of deranking,* or in the case of Splatoon 3, *being afraid of losing points.* Your goal is to get better, and you can do that regardless of what rank you're in. If you're in a lower rank than you think you should be, you can slow down and focus more on fundamentals. If you're in a higher rank, you'll be pressured to learn better options and pick up tricks from other players. Either way, don't worry about your rank, because your current rank doesn't really mean anything in the long run, and if you approach playing with a growth mindset you *will* go up in rank. Just play the game. This was the big hurdle for me back in Splatoon 1, playing turf war for months because I was afraid to lose S rank, but once I bit the bullet and dropped down to A- to start learning how to get better, I ended up making my way back up with weapons I enjoyed more and learned a lot more in the process. I see too many people do the same thing where they're afraid to join ranked battles (in this game anarchy series) when really you're ridding yourself of a huge resource for improvement and are probably making yourself a worse player by not doing so.
This! Points don't matter, getting better and having fun does. Besides, by getting better, you'll get those points back eventually anyways, so why worry?
These tips are actually useful. The "Dont be afraid of changes" is a really big tip. In splatoon 2 I never used splat charger, but once I actually got used to it, I kept getting a lot of good splats and sometimes I never die.
I liked that you included trying different things as a tip! I tend to get very focused on a single weapon and eventually burn myself out with it... So when I start feeling stale, I look for a new weapon to focus on and improve with! One of my friends likes to change it up and experiment frequently, everyone has their own style that works for them! Stay fresh!
Aaghh I struggle with all of these and it's hard but it's doable and hearing this advice again definitely helps I've thought of making flashcards for myself for when I lose focus lmao Great vid, Chara!
I would absolutely love to see you cover the movement in this game because it's an area I struggle at immensely, and I feel a guide would be really helpful ^^
I honestly have a problem with seeing my strategy mistakes, your idea about thinking about what you could've done is a great idea to me! Thanks Chara :)
That first blaming yourself one made me feel a lot better. I have a habit of calling myself stupid and hitting and punching myself in the head when I make a mistake, and I think that is really helpful. Thank you.
That last point is a really great one. I've struggled at times with not enjoying the game and forcing myself to play in order to hit certain milestones, but I just needed to realise that I can ignore all that and have fun in Turf or Salmon instead if I want to. Recognising that you don't actually want to, or even enjoy, playing competitively is incredibly valuable for your sanity.
I'm definitely guilty of the second one and that's a flaw of myself. But I do look at the replay footage to just see what happened out of curiosity and to learn. Time and experience and videos like these are good teachers.
Thank you for this!! I have friends who got the game, played a bit, and stopped because they "are just bad" at the game. I told them it wasn't about BEING good, it was about improving as you play, because it's fun. I am so happy to share this with them and encourage them to try again outside solo story!
I was playing my friend in splatoon , I was playing a roller and they were playing a charger. What I’d do is constantly bob up and down to confuse them and so it would be harder to hit me. (Keep in mind both of us were relatively new to splatoon at this point, although he had played some more games) I splatted him a few times by doing some good manuvers, and after a few times I splatted him he said that I was banned from going into the ink to get close to him, and so because I was out in the open and they were using a charger, I was constantly dying. At the end of the game they ended up winning because I physically could not win as I couldn’t go into my paint. After he won, in stead of being modest and saying good game, he straight up started celebrating as if he had just won the lottery. He then proceed to tell the other people that were there how he had beat me and how ‘I love the fact that you were so slow that I could just snipe you and almost guarantee a hit’ sorry I know this is irrelevant I just wanted to vent:
how to not get splatted by a roller: 1. be aware of there being a roller 2. look for the roller, especially before dropping off a ledge or approaching enemy ink. 3. check the map to see if there are any suspicious accumulations of enemy ink, or if enemy ink has changed in an unexpected way. 4. if you're pretty sure a roller is there, lead with some ink or a bomb. 5. don't be predictable. rollers often play similar to crocodiles/alligators in the wild, and as a roller player, i generally know where you're going to drop down and when becaause i have experience watching other players, and also watching you. if you drop down from the exact same spot, hop up the same wall the same way, or always approach from the same direction, i will remember it and lay a trap for you. be variable and unique in your movements and that makes my job a lot harder.
I got into Splatoon with Splatoon 3 just a month ago, your videos ever since have been a big inspiration to get better at the game.. I just managed to hit S+ and I don't even know the map names yet! And one of the major mistakes for me was taking it too seriously.. I put a lot of pressure into myself do to better and it was not fun. When you can't have fun it will be hard to get back into the "zone" and mentality of improving. But the biggest one is the "blaming yourself a lot" that's very hard to recognize.. Also the fact that you can apply this video to basically any other game (except the movement part, but any game has its core mechanic) it's really amazing. I really needed this video and I'm sure many others needed it! Keep it up 🌟
One of the mistakes that i learned was about hydra splatling users. They intend to stay in higher places so that they dont get easily killed. But since im a hydra splatling main, i always Stay in higher places and i got a lot of wins because of this 😄
Thx for the tips mate I’ve made the journey to S rank and I want to make it to X rank but I sometimes can’t get up a another rank cause there’s people out there better than me that will take me so I got this notification and watch it and it made me feel more confident that I can do this so thx ProChara
This video goes to Splatoon 2 me because I took a ton of L's in s2 and I was way more flawed then,I've grown so much and this video just proves that,my gameplay and strategy has improved so much because of you chara,and others like wadsm,thatsrb2dude,kyo, and many others,and I want to say thank you for making videos that have made me a better Splatoon player and a better person in general,so thank you, and have fun in x battles
Thanks, point 1 about finding balance between being responsible vs just insulting yourself is really important, and point 5 too, we need to be patient with ourselves when developing any sort of skills. Thanks for doing this!
This video helped me a lot, I will defo be doing more practice even tho I only got the game a few weeks ago since I didn't have enough money for it at the time it was first release. I'll definitely be revisiting this video when I need it.
Funny how I'm not aiming at becoming a pro in this game, yet I don't fall for any of these mistakes all that much. Well except the first one as it's kinda unavoidable.
I feel like I'm pretty good at the game and sometimes I can takeover a match pretty easily (with some teammate assistance) but glad to know I'm not the only one who misses these with the stamper 3:23
The Reggie quote absolutely killed me. Seriously though, I really needed to hear the "not making excuses" point because I've had a terrible history of complaining about weapons I don't like fighting (Clash Blaster and Hydra Splatling especially) and never actually looking at what I'm doing and what I could be doing differently in order to take fights with those weapons better.
Looking back at my old footage from when I first started playing Splatoon 2 back in 2019, I am quite proud of the progress I made, but you're absolutely right. There is always room for improvement. Either way, no matter what happens, no matter what I say or do, I'm never going to stop playing these games, because they're just insanely fun. It's why I keep coming back, Even after getting mollywhopped by some of the better players on the weekends.
Whenever I have a rough match where I complain about my teammates I always try and acknowledge that after. After the match I’ll take an objective look at how I played rather than just believing it was my team who failed me.
Honestly, This really helped. I had a bad habit of blaming myself for mistakes and never really let go of old weapons I used. In splat 1 & 2 I used Dynamo and it was my hard main. In splat 2's final week I realized I liked Sniping and yet I still struggle when trying to Let go of Dynamo. Now I use it every now and then and specialize in Normal Bow, E liter, and splat charger. Currently I'm at a point where I use all weapons I like and in general I'm climbing way more by finally coming to terms with my playstyle. TLDR: Only mained Dynamo in splat 1 and 2. Realized I didn't like it as much anymore and started maining backliners (Mainly Snipers) Great video btw :) Edit: Fixed misspelled words
Your point about 'not being afraid of change' resonated with me. I was really into the tri-slosher... but I was starting to get burnt out on it because I was losing more with it and I wasn't using the sub or the special. Then when I tried new things, because I was new I wasn't good at them, and because I wasn't good I thought I'd be stuck with the tri-slosher forever. Eventually I did find a weapon I liked and now I'm happily using and winning with the explosher.
I can more or less relate when I tried competing in Splatoon 2, but I got a lot better here. I don't bring up an excuse that rollers are OP, I just struggle with them, but little by little I'm learning to fight them with my brushes, but I do still get annoyed with missiles. Nice vid man and I do agree that in many instances, what holds us back to improve is out mentality and the habits we don't try to fix. 👍
As an Aerospray main whose trying to possibly break into competitive play this time around this video makes a lot of sense. Especially movement over aim. You won't believe how many people I've fought who just assume they'll win a fight by shooting at me and not really moving... until it's too late. Good video as always. I know my weapon will never be good enough to do anything huge but you continue to inspire me to do better with it anyway. Cheers!
great video! i especially identified with the part about not berating yourself for bad performance. i'll have 1 bad match in the middle of a bunch of great matches and immediately be like "oh man, i'm so bad at this game. i'm never gonna improve." but i find myself doing it less and less nowadays and i feel it's really improving my performance :)
hey thanks chara, not focusing too hard on grinding out splatoon, but your suggestions not only works just for this game, but for anything you wanna get better at. i’ve been working at getting better at smash, and i feel like this really helps me out a lot, especially the end.
I Needed that last tip. I get so heated Into the competition, I forget at the end of the day, It’s just a game. Remember folks to always have fun. Me and my friends nearly split up from the Pokémon Splatfest. It’s great to get competitive, but remember to enjoy the game as you go. We made up in the end but you wanna be better than me. Have a Great day everyone.
I find playing Open is helpful because the stakes aren't heightened and because of that, I can focus on learning rather than winning. I only started doing this once I got to the rank I wanted though, which was S+, which is where I left off in 2. It's unfortunate that the glicko rating doesn't correspond with your letter though. I'm not too decisive with my weapons, I typically use maybe Splash, Dynamo or Roller but have gotten back into weapons like Shot or Dualies. It really just depends on the day, one I might be a Charger and the next I can't aim for my life and need a Roller
You are part of why I got into the mindset of improving my skills in Splatoon, and finding more and more ways to have fun in it. Thank you for all these tips and information you give out. It really helped me, and for sure a lot of other people.
Here’s another tip especially if your the person to use support weapons like N Zap Don’t always blame your teammates for loses afterall we are all learning how to get better and a lot of times if your not utilizing your support weapon or special for your teammates that could be the problem right there as support weapons tend to require some level of coordination and knowing when the right time is to help your teammates
This is just good advice in general when it comes to getting good at anything, and I like that. I’m getting into splatoon right now but I’ve been a hockey goalie for 8 something years, and this is exactly the kind of mentalities you need to have.
One thing I struggle with is the inconsistency of A rank. There’s games where I get like 20+ kills and like 5 deaths but other games I die 10 times with like 3 kills without pushing objective. There seems to like a huge skill difference in the rank and it’s been a bit confusing. That’s how my journey has been going so far. Thanks for the tips, they’ve been really helping out!
I am wanting to one day be a splatoon comp player, these tips will be super helpful while I practice for fun. And as someone who puts myself down often, these tips help. Thanks Chara.
That "making excuses" bit where you show how you could've avoided those deaths looks right out of some dimension/time-travelling story that makes you relive the past with more knowledge lol
Great video Chara. These are important and difficult mindset changes that can help any one! Even cooler, is that some of these are lessons we can take outside the game to any facet in life!
My friend is stuck in S and has done ranked up battles so many times but he didn’t win any.I’m S+9 so I cant help him.I sent him this video and now he is S+ .Thanks Chara Edit:also can you do a stamper guide video?
thanks for this video! im realizing that ive been stagnant in my play for quite a while since successfully improving on some fundamentals i had to actively work on to improve (mainly map awareness and being more aware of other players) in splatoon 2, i really got to place where i felt like id improved enough to now sit back and just play on autopilot. which is fine, and its easy to feel overwhelmed by the idea of trying to tackle the next hurdles, but just taking it one step at a time is realistic and its easy to lose sight of that.
To add to number 1, the lack of a kill cam makes the discovery process of what you did wrong a little harder, but not something that can't be circumvented
When I first started splatoon 3 (this is my first game since I didnt play alot of one and never got two) I remember thinking that im never gonna get good at any other weapons besides shooters and brushes. Now im here using chargers, blasters and automatics etc, all weapons I used to hate. You can get better if you try and this video has great tips. Good luck my fellow inklings and octolings
I’ve been thinking about what to do for improving and yes aim is definitely one of them but I think a video where you cover every weapons best positioning would help quite a lot with how important positioning is
The thing that made me improve more than anything else (in any game really) was realising I couldn't control what my teammates did. I used to blame my teammates when we lost. When you stop worrying about what you're teammates are doing, and just focus on what you could have done better yourself, you'll improve quickly.
Whenever my mind goes to blaming teammates or making an excuse on why I keep losing, another side of me makes it worse by telling me everything is my fault and I’m the bad teammate. My luck and skill level is so random that I’m not sure if I’m really good or really bad. Like some days I’ll be making x rank level plays and the next day I become all reckless and look like it’s my first time playing the game and I’m not sure why-
God I feel this so much. Thats where I’m at right now in my journey. I know this is a year old comment but as a random stranger I hope youve improved from where you were when you commented this
I'm so glad someone put excuses and blaming yourself right at the start. I don't know how many times I've lost a friend wanting to play to ranked anxiety or new weapon frustration because they kept blaming themselves for all the little things, like end of the day we're here to have fun and learn new stuff! First time mew pick up a stamper it's going to be an uphill battle mostly likely ~ but it's so much more worth it in the end when you stop blaming yourself and just try to enjoy mewrself :3 Like I was terrified of ranked mode so I just focused on the new gamemodes to break myself in - now all of a sudden im sad during splatfests cause I CAN'T play ranked! XD
I've worked a lot at #1. It's easy to throw blame or to get hung up on your own shortcomings. And you nailed the cardinal rule. I suck at blasters, my aim and my patience aren't great. I play them a little at a time to slowly build skill without getting frustrated. When I start to get po'd at them, I switch to one of my usual weapons. Yeah, it means my progression is slow, but it also means I don't burn out on the game
I can't say how beautiful is this video for me. Or just for the people who want to improve. I always need to get a lot of kills or something because if not, I feel less than the other players and I don't want to be an obstacle. These advices are so important to me. I know The way is long but I improved so much with Range Blaster thanks to you and you are an incredible motivation for me. I just don't know how to express It, Thank you so much, Chara. Thank you for showing us that even good players are not that good always.
Tunnel vision is a problem for me, though it's only in certain situations. A good example is on hagglefish Market (zones specifically) and my team is losing. I always try to push out/through the middle of our base, never through the sides, nor do I wait for my team to regroup. I've gotten a bit better at it after getting back into comp, but it's still something I have to focus on when it comes to solo queue
These tips has such excellent advice and I will take these as an opportunity too grow stronger and better at the game. The whole take on this video of I need improved on is excuses(Playing smart and be smart) and overall enjoy the journey. Thank you chara
Not only do you give good gaming advice, you also help people with personal and mental advice. Your videos are always entertaining, as well as super inspirational to help me be a better, positive person. You are a great content creator, keep up the great work 👍
Number 1 actually reminded me of a hilarious incident I had happen a while ago. Me and an E-Liter were guarding the zone in hagglefish in a bubbler when a flingza just casually rolled us over from behind. I found the humor in it even then and it was swiftly dealt with afterwards. I have a clip from it on my twitter
I think an interesting direction to take this series next would be an honest discussion about what you (or even interview other pros) are trying to get better at. Sometimes there's this impression that once you become a pro you sit up in this white tower of "well yeah I'm getting better but I'm so much better than you you wouldn't even understand my problems" so I think it would be interesting to see what sorts of things the pros see in their own play as specific things they can improve or work on.
The being afraid of change one stuck out me especially. I’ve mained N-Zap for basically as long as I’ve been playing Splatoon, but its current kit is disappointing to say the least. Suction bomb isn’t bad, but it’s pretty bog standard and not all that fun, while Cooler is a pretty big kneecap to stealth. I still play it, and enjoy it, but I’ve used a lot of my time waiting for a new kit to try out some other weapons that I never used all that much, and have found a lot of fun in Junior, Dynamo and Heavy. If the game is getting stale to you, I highly recommend trying out a weapon that’s always eluded you. Who knows? You might just love it
probably the most important tip is to never prioritize the game over your own mental health. Your well being is not less important than getting good at the funny Squid game and if you treat it as if it is then you'll only make yourself feel worse and worse and you won't actualy improve, infact you'll probably just get worse take care of yourselves out there space squids ✌️
Everytime I start to play with a new weapon, I generally die very quickly and when I want to blame myself I take a deep breath and think "I must change the way I'm playing cause this wasn't due to lag or something else" this really works! Also dunno where the major audience from this channel is, I wanna know if you guys have a laggy experience with the game, cause here in Brazil... Sometimes is terrible, deal to weapons like dark tetra, clash blaster and bublobber is really a PAIN!!! the game would be amazing if it was less laggy here :/
I can confirm the whole "blaming yourself" thing. Once I stopped having such unrealistic expectations from myself and started simply thinking about what I can do different, how can I better support my teammates and learning that I'm no professional and that sometimes there are things outside of my control and that I should simply do my best to keep improving and learning, I started getting better pretty quickly.
Watching replays and writing up "what to do"s and what not to has helped me a lot! And really, this applies to anything you want to improve at. Don't make excuses for your shortcomings, but don't start beating yourself up over them either. After all, learning is a process and we all hit roadblocks.
Agreed. Battle replays are amazing to see what you did wrong and figure out what could have been fone
That's an amazing idea, I shall take notes from my replays. Thanks for the tip my friend
Problem is it's far too easy to blame yourself and especially if you're new to the thing. It can also be part of a much bigger problem (I.e the gifted child problem). Using myself as an example here I know I'm guilty of this. I'm aware that some people take their rank or whatever seriously and have likely worked hard for it, and my Autism definitely doesn't help matters. But i have learned to recognise I'm better than what I give myself credit for and everyone had to start somewhere (and it doesn't hurt to laugh at your mistakes every now and then). I should also point out I have a self deprecating sense of humour but I digress.
This is one of the reasons why when doing salmon run I stick to my teammates I get landed with as long as possible. For all I know I could be helping them out a lot even if we failed. It is a game in the end and we all have our off days. I have had my fair share of getting mad at in a game over the years but I've equally had more than my fair share of fun and wholesome moments too!
Yesterday for example during a salmon run. My teammates celebrated a completed wave at around profreshonal! That may be nothing to other players but that doesn't matter cause we had fun! (Nothing beats like a celebratory booyabomb).
Sorry if this reads like alphabetty spaghetti :) don't get mad at yourself for making mistakes as that's how we learn. And more importantly just have fun!
@@hikaru9624 I can relate A LOT. I'm also autistic and I've struggled with this sort of stuff for my entire life, it was really hard to shake it off. Hell, I even still have issues not just beating the crap out of myself mentally on other stuff like drawing. I have a whole ass story to tell on that regard but that's not really relevant here.
Point is, whenever I start having bad thoughts I try my best to think logically and objectively. I guess you could say I have a more "square" side whose job is to stop my overly emotional and strict side from ruining everything. As I said, I'm no professional, I need to set more realistic expectations for myself. Setting the bar so ridiculously high will only keep me from enjoying activities I would otherwise adore doing.
Still, it's so great to see others are also able to move forward like this and it's incredibly inspiring. This is why sometimes I take the time to share some thoughts as well 💖
@@-bemyvalentine- I have autism too so I know the feeling, I've been autistic for my whole life and I also find myself getting mad at my teammates and the Rival team sometimes though I've had some amazing players and made some friends as well.

Completely agree, when he explains topics they are much more clear to understand as well as just being confident
I got that same effect in like two weeks with splatoon 3
And I'm sure that'll happen again when I get back playing (I'm playing pokemon and guilty gear recently and they're taking all my free time basically)
I love that most of these are focused on mentality over mechanics. Feel like it’s an aspect of play that’s often ignored, but having the mentality to improve does wonders for allowing that change to happen.
I have an extra tip that I don't think was Said in this video:
Make sure to check your HUD, It can help you and be the difference between life and death. If someone on your team has Tacticooler ready, Check the HUD and go to them to receive buffs. If you see that someone you're fighting has a special ready, prepare to back away and move into a more safe position. Its really useful and can help in dire situations.
You kinda mixed up HUD and UI there, I was confused for a second
@@bodacious12 crap, my bad. Lemme edit that
Not only the HUD, but check your map, too! In turf war, it's damn near essential; but in ranked / anarchy battles, it is the best way to tell where enemies might be before you start moving towards that area... Not to mention keeping track of the objective
You have no idea how many times I’ve tried to take a fight with someone without realizing they have a tri-zooka ready. 9 times out of 10 that scenario ends with me getting blown to smithereens before I get within shooting range.
there's also one things that makes me better in this game: When things goes abit too chaos, sometimes it is better for you to take a step back and observe the situation for a while rather than rushing in without planning.
Hide in a good spot, observe the current situation (like where's is the enemy's sniper/splatling locating, numbers of attacking frontliners and their wpns, how many teammates are down etc), u could form a good strategy to adapt the situation, (either pushing in, retreating as teammates's jump spot or picking off certain targets or objectives). Works really well.
Sometimes it's best to have intel rather than having good reflexes.
I agree with this comment, I do that sometimes when I'm preparing a sneak attack or checking if it's clear to move into the rival teams base
This is also good for helping your team regroup if most of them go down. More teammates = better chance to fight back. Taking at best a trade when their whole team is pushing and yours is down isn’t gonna do much unless it's a rainmaker carrier or something that can be stalled by one person.
Yes, like Bruce Lee says "Be like water". Or in our case, like ink. Be fluid in battles. Change were change is called for.
Listen to captain cuttlefish's advice!
Great tip!!! one time i hid in a good spot and the enemy killed all my teammates. They couldn't find me and that gave my teammates time to regrou[
Tunnel vision is definitely one of my biggest problems. I can start out a match so good but quickly zone out and start hyper focusing only on what's directly in front of me instead of focusing on my situational awareness like I set out to do.
Tunnel vision was a huge problem with me, too.
Same here. It’s why I tend to rarely notice my special being available
None of these really stuck out as big weaknesses of mine that I definitely need to work on (not that I’m perfect at all of them), but I’m actually really happy about that. It shows that I’ve improved by an incredible amount since even just a few weeks ago where a lot of these were definitely things I could easily improve on
I've been stuck at S+0 for about a month now, and this video was very helpful. Thanks again Chara!
Im still stuck at A+, got into rank up battles but got destroyed
And im still stuck at S+50 :(
damn, same. thought i was the only one that couldn't rank up even after a month. nice to know im not the only one. gl on ranking up
How much debt I'm at -10000
i just got to s+0
god i love splatoons community. thanks chara for taking the time to make videos for everyone you cam rly tell that you just want everyone to be better and to improve the game as a whole with your advice! i know i need to break tunnel vision for sure...and the roller example felt like you pulled that directly from my matches yesterday, but it must just be actually that common LOL!
i hope you reach 100k before the end of the year, you absolutely deserve it and more!
As a side note, the excuses thing is also something that can be applied anywhere, not only Splatoon, not only videogames, anywhere, you can't make up excuses because you don't want to admit your mistakes or the consecuences of them.
I like to talk about it as if it were a mixture of self-confidence and humility, you do need to be humble enough so you can admit your mistakes and try to avoid them, but you also need self-confidence to let you know that you can do things and that you are not bad.
It's very hard, but it's helpful anywhere and it prevents you from feeling bad for thinking that you're not good, and from getting tilted/mad for thinking that it's not your fault, it's the others' fault.
Also, please, do not blame your team if you lose a match, they are presumably trying their best or going through a tilt period, try focusing what you can change, and surprisingly enough, the only thing you can change for the better or for the worse, it's yourself, blaming others makes yourself generally angry or tilted and it produces a bad feeling for the others if your feedback reach them.
Video 39 of commenting on Chara videos till brella gets fixed
I hope it gets fixed in 2.0, but probably not
I love Tenta Brella.
I wish it was good.
Brellas been my favorite class for a good minute, I want to use brellas to be a good or at least decent weapon to use. I love the concept of it too
Your definitely correct on the tunnel vision.. That killed me at first... Salmon Run Really helped me with that problem. If your setting up a charger shot at a steel head.. immediately SURROUNDED by Small fry's and chums. Basically teaching a lesson.. stick and move.
Great videos by the way. You and Dude have the best.
This is the second time I’m saying this : a lot of your advices about Splatoon also applies very well to other games. Thanks for all the time and effort you out into this video!!
One additional point that somewhat ties into being afraid of change that I see way too often is *being afraid of deranking,* or in the case of Splatoon 3, *being afraid of losing points.* Your goal is to get better, and you can do that regardless of what rank you're in. If you're in a lower rank than you think you should be, you can slow down and focus more on fundamentals. If you're in a higher rank, you'll be pressured to learn better options and pick up tricks from other players. Either way, don't worry about your rank, because your current rank doesn't really mean anything in the long run, and if you approach playing with a growth mindset you *will* go up in rank. Just play the game.
This was the big hurdle for me back in Splatoon 1, playing turf war for months because I was afraid to lose S rank, but once I bit the bullet and dropped down to A- to start learning how to get better, I ended up making my way back up with weapons I enjoyed more and learned a lot more in the process. I see too many people do the same thing where they're afraid to join ranked battles (in this game anarchy series) when really you're ridding yourself of a huge resource for improvement and are probably making yourself a worse player by not doing so.
This!
Points don't matter, getting better and having fun does. Besides, by getting better, you'll get those points back eventually anyways, so why worry?
Agreed!!!!👍🏻
Pro Chara : So first up is excuses
Me :man that felt personal
These tips are actually useful. The "Dont be afraid of changes" is a really big tip. In splatoon 2 I never used splat charger, but once I actually got used to it, I kept getting a lot of good splats and sometimes I never die.
I liked that you included trying different things as a tip! I tend to get very focused on a single weapon and eventually burn myself out with it... So when I start feeling stale, I look for a new weapon to focus on and improve with! One of my friends likes to change it up and experiment frequently, everyone has their own style that works for them! Stay fresh!
Aaghh I struggle with all of these and it's hard but it's doable and hearing this advice again definitely helps
I've thought of making flashcards for myself for when I lose focus lmao
Great vid, Chara!
Hi ceph. I also agree, it's hard to get rid of these things since you're used to doing them.
pro chara about to become an inspirational speaker
I would absolutely love to see you cover the movement in this game because it's an area I struggle at immensely, and I feel a guide would be really helpful ^^
I honestly have a problem with seeing my strategy mistakes, your idea about thinking about what you could've done is a great idea to me! Thanks Chara :)
you definitely have inspired me to try and get into competitive splatoon chara. love your videos and content as always.
That first blaming yourself one made me feel a lot better. I have a habit of calling myself stupid and hitting and punching myself in the head when I make a mistake, and I think that is really helpful. Thank you.
Probably lose a few hundred brain cells every time you do that. Don't.
LOL
Thx for the tips I’ve been on a huge losing streak trying to get to this one huge goal and I’m finally starting to improve
That last point is a really great one. I've struggled at times with not enjoying the game and forcing myself to play in order to hit certain milestones, but I just needed to realise that I can ignore all that and have fun in Turf or Salmon instead if I want to.
Recognising that you don't actually want to, or even enjoy, playing competitively is incredibly valuable for your sanity.
(Before watching video)
I sometimes notice I jump into enemy ink or play wayyyyy too aggressive and die early.
I'm definitely guilty of the second one and that's a flaw of myself. But I do look at the replay footage to just see what happened out of curiosity and to learn. Time and experience and videos like these are good teachers.
I agree
Thank you for this!! I have friends who got the game, played a bit, and stopped because they "are just bad" at the game. I told them it wasn't about BEING good, it was about improving as you play, because it's fun. I am so happy to share this with them and encourage them to try again outside solo story!
I was playing my friend in splatoon , I was playing a roller and they were playing a charger. What I’d do is constantly bob up and down to confuse them and so it would be harder to hit me. (Keep in mind both of us were relatively new to splatoon at this point, although he had played some more games) I splatted him a few times by doing some good manuvers, and after a few times I splatted him he said that I was banned from going into the ink to get close to him, and so because I was out in the open and they were using a charger, I was constantly dying. At the end of the game they ended up winning because I physically could not win as I couldn’t go into my paint. After he won, in stead of being modest and saying good game, he straight up started celebrating as if he had just won the lottery. He then proceed to tell the other people that were there how he had beat me and how ‘I love the fact that you were so slow that I could just snipe you and almost guarantee a hit’ sorry I know this is irrelevant I just wanted to vent:
how to not get splatted by a roller:
1. be aware of there being a roller
2. look for the roller, especially before dropping off a ledge or approaching enemy ink.
3. check the map to see if there are any suspicious accumulations of enemy ink, or if enemy ink has changed in an unexpected way.
4. if you're pretty sure a roller is there, lead with some ink or a bomb.
5. don't be predictable. rollers often play similar to crocodiles/alligators in the wild, and as a roller player, i generally know where you're going to drop down and when becaause i have experience watching other players, and also watching you. if you drop down from the exact same spot, hop up the same wall the same way, or always approach from the same direction, i will remember it and lay a trap for you. be variable and unique in your movements and that makes my job a lot harder.
Ive heard a lot of people with excuses but watching them made me realize that it gets you nowhere, good advice in this video 👍
I got into Splatoon with Splatoon 3 just a month ago, your videos ever since have been a big inspiration to get better at the game.. I just managed to hit S+ and I don't even know the map names yet! And one of the major mistakes for me was taking it too seriously.. I put a lot of pressure into myself do to better and it was not fun. When you can't have fun it will be hard to get back into the "zone" and mentality of improving. But the biggest one is the "blaming yourself a lot" that's very hard to recognize..
Also the fact that you can apply this video to basically any other game (except the movement part, but any game has its core mechanic) it's really amazing.
I really needed this video and I'm sure many others needed it! Keep it up 🌟
One of the mistakes that i learned was about hydra splatling users. They intend to stay in higher places so that they dont get easily killed.
But since im a hydra splatling main, i always Stay in higher places and i got a lot of wins because of this 😄
Thx for the tips mate I’ve made the journey to S rank and I want to make it to X rank but I sometimes can’t get up a another rank cause there’s people out there better than me that will take me so I got this notification and watch it and it made me feel more confident that I can do this so thx ProChara
This video goes to Splatoon 2 me because I took a ton of L's in s2 and I was way more flawed then,I've grown so much and this video just proves that,my gameplay and strategy has improved so much because of you chara,and others like wadsm,thatsrb2dude,kyo, and many others,and I want to say thank you for making videos that have made me a better Splatoon player and a better person in general,so thank you, and have fun in x battles
Half of these advice can be applicable in your day to day life or whatever youre trying to improve at. amazing video all around!
a really good thing to do is also watch replays of the match to see other spots for improvement that you can't normally see while battling
Thanks, point 1 about finding balance between being responsible vs just insulting yourself is really important, and point 5 too, we need to be patient with ourselves when developing any sort of skills. Thanks for doing this!
This video helped me a lot, I will defo be doing more practice even tho I only got the game a few weeks ago since I didn't have enough money for it at the time it was first release. I'll definitely be revisiting this video when I need it.
Funny how I'm not aiming at becoming a pro in this game, yet I don't fall for any of these mistakes all that much. Well except the first one as it's kinda unavoidable.
I feel like I'm pretty good at the game and sometimes I can takeover a match pretty easily (with some teammate assistance) but glad to know I'm not the only one who misses these with the stamper 3:23
The Reggie quote absolutely killed me.
Seriously though, I really needed to hear the "not making excuses" point because I've had a terrible history of complaining about weapons I don't like fighting (Clash Blaster and Hydra Splatling especially) and never actually looking at what I'm doing and what I could be doing differently in order to take fights with those weapons better.
Looking back at my old footage from when I first started playing Splatoon 2 back in 2019, I am quite proud of the progress I made, but you're absolutely right. There is always room for improvement.
Either way, no matter what happens, no matter what I say or do, I'm never going to stop playing these games, because they're just insanely fun. It's why I keep coming back, Even after getting mollywhopped by some of the better players on the weekends.
Whenever I have a rough match where I complain about my teammates I always try and acknowledge that after. After the match I’ll take an objective look at how I played rather than just believing it was my team who failed me.
That Takashi Mifune clip art jumpscare gave me a good chuckle. I definitely didn't expect it from a western TH-camr.
Honestly, This really helped. I had a bad habit of blaming myself for mistakes and never really let go of old weapons I used. In splat 1 & 2 I used Dynamo and it was my hard main. In splat 2's final week I realized I liked Sniping and yet I still struggle when trying to Let go of Dynamo. Now I use it every now and then and specialize in Normal Bow, E liter, and splat charger. Currently I'm at a point where I use all weapons I like and in general I'm climbing way more by finally coming to terms with my playstyle.
TLDR: Only mained Dynamo in splat 1 and 2. Realized I didn't like it as much anymore and started maining backliners (Mainly Snipers)
Great video btw :)
Edit: Fixed misspelled words
I love the tip of “Enjoy Improving”. It really is the best thing about Splatoon to think about.
Your point about 'not being afraid of change' resonated with me. I was really into the tri-slosher... but I was starting to get burnt out on it because I was losing more with it and I wasn't using the sub or the special. Then when I tried new things, because I was new I wasn't good at them, and because I wasn't good I thought I'd be stuck with the tri-slosher forever. Eventually I did find a weapon I liked and now I'm happily using and winning with the explosher.
I can more or less relate when I tried competing in Splatoon 2, but I got a lot better here. I don't bring up an excuse that rollers are OP, I just struggle with them, but little by little I'm learning to fight them with my brushes, but I do still get annoyed with missiles. Nice vid man and I do agree that in many instances, what holds us back to improve is out mentality and the habits we don't try to fix. 👍
As an Aerospray main whose trying to possibly break into competitive play this time around this video makes a lot of sense. Especially movement over aim. You won't believe how many people I've fought who just assume they'll win a fight by shooting at me and not really moving... until it's too late. Good video as always. I know my weapon will never be good enough to do anything huge but you continue to inspire me to do better with it anyway. Cheers!
great video! i especially identified with the part about not berating yourself for bad performance. i'll have 1 bad match in the middle of a bunch of great matches and immediately be like "oh man, i'm so bad at this game. i'm never gonna improve." but i find myself doing it less and less nowadays and i feel it's really improving my performance :)
hey thanks chara, not focusing too hard on grinding out splatoon, but your suggestions not only works just for this game, but for anything you wanna get better at. i’ve been working at getting better at smash, and i feel like this really helps me out a lot, especially the end.
I Needed that last tip. I get so heated Into the competition, I forget at the end of the day, It’s just a game. Remember folks to always have fun. Me and my friends nearly split up from the Pokémon Splatfest. It’s great to get competitive, but remember to enjoy the game as you go. We made up in the end but you wanna be better than me.
Have a Great day everyone.
babe wake up, new prochara video dropped
I find playing Open is helpful because the stakes aren't heightened and because of that, I can focus on learning rather than winning. I only started doing this once I got to the rank I wanted though, which was S+, which is where I left off in 2.
It's unfortunate that the glicko rating doesn't correspond with your letter though. I'm not too decisive with my weapons, I typically use maybe Splash, Dynamo or Roller but have gotten back into weapons like Shot or Dualies. It really just depends on the day, one I might be a Charger and the next I can't aim for my life and need a Roller
You are part of why I got into the mindset of improving my skills in Splatoon, and finding more and more ways to have fun in it. Thank you for all these tips and information you give out. It really helped me, and for sure a lot of other people.
Here’s another tip especially if your the person to use support weapons like N Zap
Don’t always blame your teammates for loses afterall we are all learning how to get better and a lot of times if your not utilizing your support weapon or special for your teammates that could be the problem right there as support weapons tend to require some level of coordination and knowing when the right time is to help your teammates
Good advice to use outside of Splatoon, too (well maybe "Movement" doesn't generalize well)
This is just good advice in general when it comes to getting good at anything, and I like that. I’m getting into splatoon right now but I’ve been a hockey goalie for 8 something years, and this is exactly the kind of mentalities you need to have.
One thing I struggle with is the inconsistency of A rank. There’s games where I get like 20+ kills and like 5 deaths but other games I die 10 times with like 3 kills without pushing objective. There seems to like a huge skill difference in the rank and it’s been a bit confusing. That’s how my journey has been going so far. Thanks for the tips, they’ve been really helping out!
I am wanting to one day be a splatoon comp player, these tips will be super helpful while I practice for fun. And as someone who puts myself down often, these tips help. Thanks Chara.
Same here
This was an incredibly motivating video and I feel like it didn't just give good advice about Splatoon but also about improving at anything in general
That "making excuses" bit where you show how you could've avoided those deaths looks right out of some dimension/time-travelling story that makes you relive the past with more knowledge lol
Great video Chara. These are important and difficult mindset changes that can help any one! Even cooler, is that some of these are lessons we can take outside the game to any facet in life!
I think the excuse tip was the most important. I used to blame teammates for every loss.
My friend is stuck in S and has done ranked up battles so many times but he didn’t win any.I’m S+9 so I cant help him.I sent him this video and now he is S+ .Thanks Chara
Edit:also can you do a stamper guide video?
thanks for this video! im realizing that ive been stagnant in my play for quite a while since successfully improving on some fundamentals i had to actively work on to improve (mainly map awareness and being more aware of other players) in splatoon 2, i really got to place where i felt like id improved enough to now sit back and just play on autopilot. which is fine, and its easy to feel overwhelmed by the idea of trying to tackle the next hurdles, but just taking it one step at a time is realistic and its easy to lose sight of that.
Thanks so much love your videos you have inspired me to become a splatoon 3 content creator to!
This can really help me get better all three of my games that I play😊
To add to number 1, the lack of a kill cam makes the discovery process of what you did wrong a little harder, but not something that can't be circumvented
When I first started splatoon 3 (this is my first game since I didnt play alot of one and never got two) I remember thinking that im never gonna get good at any other weapons besides shooters and brushes. Now im here using chargers, blasters and automatics etc, all weapons I used to hate. You can get better if you try and this video has great tips. Good luck my fellow inklings and octolings
yea improving is the tough part, but having fun is the most important part of splatoon
I’ve been thinking about what to do for improving and yes aim is definitely one of them but I think a video where you cover every weapons best positioning would help quite a lot with how important positioning is
I cannot believe how much of this video is about not having a negative mindset, that about sums it up
Thank you for videos like this. I've learned so so much from creators like you that I never would have figured out on my own.
The thing that made me improve more than anything else (in any game really) was realising I couldn't control what my teammates did. I used to blame my teammates when we lost.
When you stop worrying about what you're teammates are doing, and just focus on what you could have done better yourself, you'll improve quickly.
Agreed
Whenever my mind goes to blaming teammates or making an excuse on why I keep losing, another side of me makes it worse by telling me everything is my fault and I’m the bad teammate. My luck and skill level is so random that I’m not sure if I’m really good or really bad. Like some days I’ll be making x rank level plays and the next day I become all reckless and look like it’s my first time playing the game and I’m not sure why-
God I feel this so much. Thats where I’m at right now in my journey. I know this is a year old comment but as a random stranger I hope youve improved from where you were when you commented this
I can identify every things that i could change, and i honestly didn’t see those coming hahah, great vid as usual, you’re the best !!
I'm so glad someone put excuses and blaming yourself right at the start. I don't know how many times I've lost a friend wanting to play to ranked anxiety or new weapon frustration because they kept blaming themselves for all the little things, like end of the day we're here to have fun and learn new stuff! First time mew pick up a stamper it's going to be an uphill battle mostly likely ~ but it's so much more worth it in the end when you stop blaming yourself and just try to enjoy mewrself :3
Like I was terrified of ranked mode so I just focused on the new gamemodes to break myself in - now all of a sudden im sad during splatfests cause I CAN'T play ranked! XD
I appreciate the last one. So many people lose sight of having fun with a game. Developers and players.
I've worked a lot at #1. It's easy to throw blame or to get hung up on your own shortcomings.
And you nailed the cardinal rule. I suck at blasters, my aim and my patience aren't great. I play them a little at a time to slowly build skill without getting frustrated. When I start to get po'd at them, I switch to one of my usual weapons. Yeah, it means my progression is slow, but it also means I don't burn out on the game
I have been filled with motivation to fix parts of my life
I can't say how beautiful is this video for me. Or just for the people who want to improve. I always need to get a lot of kills or something because if not, I feel less than the other players and I don't want to be an obstacle.
These advices are so important to me. I know The way is long but I improved so much with Range Blaster thanks to you and you are an incredible motivation for me.
I just don't know how to express It, Thank you so much, Chara. Thank you for showing us that even good players are not that good always.
Tunnel vision is a problem for me, though it's only in certain situations. A good example is on hagglefish Market (zones specifically) and my team is losing. I always try to push out/through the middle of our base, never through the sides, nor do I wait for my team to regroup. I've gotten a bit better at it after getting back into comp, but it's still something I have to focus on when it comes to solo queue
These tips has such excellent advice and I will take these as an opportunity too grow stronger and better at the game. The whole take on this video of I need improved on is excuses(Playing smart and be smart) and overall enjoy the journey. Thank you chara
This video really hits home. Great work Prochara!
Not only do you give good gaming advice, you also help people with personal and mental advice. Your videos are always entertaining, as well as super inspirational to help me be a better, positive person. You are a great content creator, keep up the great work 👍
this video came at the perfect time
i literally just threw a set in a tourney and beat myself up about it so much
this really helped me thx c:
Not me blaming my team every time I lose lol
Number 1 actually reminded me of a hilarious incident I had happen a while ago. Me and an E-Liter were guarding the zone in hagglefish in a bubbler when a flingza just casually rolled us over from behind. I found the humor in it even then and it was swiftly dealt with afterwards. I have a clip from it on my twitter
Thanks a bunch this will help me out a lot
Thank you so much for the tips Chara. You have helped me a lot with the way I play the game and I love getting better. Thanks
Your videos are improving a lot! These were good tips.
I think an interesting direction to take this series next would be an honest discussion about what you (or even interview other pros) are trying to get better at. Sometimes there's this impression that once you become a pro you sit up in this white tower of "well yeah I'm getting better but I'm so much better than you you wouldn't even understand my problems" so I think it would be interesting to see what sorts of things the pros see in their own play as specific things they can improve or work on.
A lesson I learned about rollers is that to always check around the corners before you proceed, otherwise they'll crush you're spine
Just recently joined a team for S3, im hoping to improve a lot and have fun, so thanks for these videos! :)
Other than Movement, I like how the rest can also be applied to anything outside of Splatoon as well!
The being afraid of change one stuck out me especially. I’ve mained N-Zap for basically as long as I’ve been playing Splatoon, but its current kit is disappointing to say the least. Suction bomb isn’t bad, but it’s pretty bog standard and not all that fun, while Cooler is a pretty big kneecap to stealth. I still play it, and enjoy it, but I’ve used a lot of my time waiting for a new kit to try out some other weapons that I never used all that much, and have found a lot of fun in Junior, Dynamo and Heavy. If the game is getting stale to you, I highly recommend trying out a weapon that’s always eluded you. Who knows? You might just love it
probably the most important tip is to never prioritize the game over your own mental health. Your well being is not less important than getting good at the funny Squid game and if you treat it as if it is then you'll only make yourself feel worse and worse and you won't actualy improve, infact you'll probably just get worse
take care of yourselves out there space squids ✌️
Everytime I start to play with a new weapon, I generally die very quickly and when I want to blame myself I take a deep breath and think "I must change the way I'm playing cause this wasn't due to lag or something else" this really works! Also dunno where the major audience from this channel is, I wanna know if you guys have a laggy experience with the game, cause here in Brazil... Sometimes is terrible, deal to weapons like dark tetra, clash blaster and bublobber is really a PAIN!!! the game would be amazing if it was less laggy here :/
